More precisely, we establish a formula for the Assouad spectrum of all Gatzouras-Lalley carpets as the concave conjugate of an explicit piecewise-analytic function combined with a simple parameter change. Our formula implies a number of novel properties for the Assouad spectrum not previously observed for dynamically invariant sets; in particular, the Assouad spectrum can be a non-trivial differentiable function on the entire domain $(0,1)$ and can be strictly concave on open intervals. Our proof introduces a general framework for covering arguments using techniques developed in the context of multifractal analysis, including the method of types from large deviations theory and Lagrange duality from optimisation theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-13T22:40:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28A80", "37C45", "49N15" ], "keywords": [ "assouad spectrum", "gatzouras-lalley carpets", "large deviations theory", "self-affine fractal sets", "explicit piecewise-analytic function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
